"Winning is not an option"

...And yet, as the situation continues to deteriorate both for Iraqisinside and outside of Iraq, and for Americans inside Iraq, Americans in Americaare still debating on the state of the war and occupation- are they winning orlosing? Is it better or worse. Let me clear it up for any moron with lingering doubts: It’s worse.It’s over. You lost. You lost the day your tanks rolled into Baghdad to thecheers of your imported, American-trained monkeys. You lost every single familywhose home your soldiers violated. You lost every sane, red-blooded Iraqi whenthe Abu Ghraib pictures came out and verified your atrocities behind prisonwalls as well as the ones we see in our streets. You lost when you broughtmurderers, looters, gangsters and militia heads to power and hailed them asIraq’s first democratic government. You lost when a gruesome execution wasdubbed your biggest accomplishment. You lost the respect and reputation you oncehad. You lost more than 3000 troops. That is what you lost America. I hope theoil, at least, made it worthwhile.

Where the Rants Are

About Me

I live as deep in the woods as I can, on the banks of White's Creek where it cuts through the edge of the Cumberland Plateau. It's a good spot for someone who loves people but gets enough of them from time to time. My wife and kids put up with my eccentricities well enough and seem to like where we live, even though we have to drive a good bit to live our active lifestyle. It is the one incongruity of my existence. Our house is a passive solar design with an electrically heated hot tub. Contradictions are everywhere, but we do what we can.
We have a resident Eagle population in the gorge that salutes us most mornings with a fly by during coffee. It's a good spot to live.
